Bible Question:
According to St. John 10;10 God is not guilty of ,killing, stealing or destroying. The thief is the one who does these things. My question is,... Why is God said to be the one who ,kills, steals, and destroys? thanx, Marie S. |
Bible Answer: In John 10, Christ is speaking in regards to the sheep and how the sheep (the elect) do not hear the voices (follow) the theives (false prophets). When He mentions that the thieves come to kill, steal and destroy, again it is a symbolic parable as is the rest of the context, which means they come to deceive (steal), which in turn, sends souls to hell (kill and destroy). God does not allow His sheep to be killed and destroyed. He "came that they may have life, and have it abundantly." God is said to kill and destroy in Matt 10:28 "Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." If God is judge why can He not also be the executioner? Does that make Him unloving? May it never be! (borrowing from Paul) He kills and destroys (sends to hell for all eternity) those who will never come to believe in His Son. |
